Nicely Done...
Could you share the part numbers for the heims and ball joint and contact infomation for the company you purchased them from..

The ball joints are again from the dirt track guys, but the label marked them as pinto ball joint.
They are similar to press in units, but they screw in. The collars on my A arms are threaded too and the ball joint just screws in. I need to cut my old suspension tabs off before I can mount these, then I am going to work on mounting the shocks (which I still havn't done).

I am using the steering knuckles and rear axle from a blazer which is same as an s10, and they fit perfectly with the book chassis.

My spindles and rear axle are from a 1997 blazer that had a tree dropped on it, parts were dirt cheap because the car was uninsured at the time of its demise.

The suspension pieces were bought locally through a circle track speed shop called lawrence engineering out of trenton, NJ.

The suspension pieces cost me a hair under $250

The bolt is 1/2", and on one side of the bracket is a 5/8" tube welded in place the other side of the bracket is free the same 5/8" tube but free floating that way they clamp on the heim joint.
